Berri says 'massacres' prove Israel 'disregards all agreements'
Speaker Nabih Berri noted Saturday that "the two massacres perpetrated by the Israeli occupation aircraft in the towns of Ansar and Deir al-Zahrani, which resulted in the martyrdom of an entire family, mostly women and children, fall within the context of the ongoing genocidal war waged by the Israeli killing and destruction machine against the land, people, heritage, and everything connected to human life in the South."
He stated that "these massacres irrefutably prove that the Israeli political and military leadership disregards all agreements, laws, and efforts to end the war and tension in Lebanon and the region."
Berri added: "The aggression against the towns of Ansar, Deir al-Zahrani, al-Mansouri, and the villages of the Nabatieh district is a call, sealed with the blood of children and women, to all Lebanese, especially the political forces across the spectrum, to approach the Israeli aggression, its repercussions, and its dimensions from a national perspective, far removed from any regional, sectarian or partisan bias."
"It is a call to solidify the atmosphere of national unity. It is also a call to the sponsors of the negotiations and ceasefire agreements to assume their responsibility to stop this war of extermination before it is too late," Berri urged.
